The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the NBA’s most valuable and historic franchises, with a reach and fanbase to match their reputation.

But, no matter the size of that following, Laker fans failed to reach Andrew Bynum in his seven seasons in Los Angeles, during which he won two NBA titles.

Now with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Bynum was asked what he knew about Cavaliers fans. He considered what was the final question of an interview with FOX Sports Ohio—a throwaway question, if we’re being honest—and answered with a surprise jab at Los Angeles.

“I haven’t had the opportunity to play for a city that’s really going to stand up and really support the team," Bynum said. "I’m super excited to see what it’s like.”

Thing is, since the 2011-12 season, Bynum has rarely played. He didn’t touch the court in one season with the Philadelphia 76ers and hasn’t logged minutes in all 82 games since his second season. Bynum played 60 games in his last full season.

He has a new opportunity in Cleveland after signing a two-year, $24 million contract to play for the Cavaliers. He is said to be healthy, and could prove to be a major asset to a playoff team if capable of taking on a full-time role at center. He'll have help from point guard Kyrie Irving and a host of other developing players.

The Cleveland fans, who haven’t experienced much winning since LeBron James left for Miami in 2010, might show Bynum a little appreciation if he’s a key cog in the Cavaliers' effort to return to the playoffs.
